Alive and kicking

THE round ball game is alive, thriving and growing in popularity in Casey Cardinia amongst boys and girls alike!
Despite wet and dismal conditions, Grices Road Recreation Reserve was a sea of nonstop action last Tuesday as 350-plus boys and girls from local primary schools in Casey Cardinia contested the annual Inter Schools five-a-side Soccer Tournament held to honour the memory of former School Principal and long-time Rotarian of the Narre Warren Rotary Club Graeme Maggs.
The energy, enthusiasm and all out endeavour shown by the youngsters was quite inspirational and staff from Melbourne City FC who supported the event were very impressed by the high standard of play throughout.
All teams comprising boys, girls and mixed, played five games with elimination matches proving extremely competitive following the round-robin matches in the morning.
Mary McKillop proved successful in the boys’ finale, defeated St Margaret’s/Berwick Grammar School while the girls’ title was claimed by overall champions Fountain Gate over Mary McKillop.
A great day of sport played in wonderful spirit and enjoyed by all.
